ROPS  continuously monitors the aircraft’s position with respect to the remaining runway length and calculates whether the aircraft can safely come to a stop. ROPS  alerts are designed to effectively guide and assist the crew in the go-around decision-making process or, when on ground, the timely application of deceleration means.

ROPS  key features:

• Automatically detects the landing runway and updates in case of late change of runway
• Continuously monitors the aircraft speed and height during the landing phase
• Updates the calculation of stopping distance eight (8) times per second based on real-time conditions
• In-Air – generates alerts to warn the flight crew of overrun risk and aid in go-around decision
• On-Ground – if overrun risk exists, generates alerts to solicit flight crew to use all available deceleration means

First EASA type certified in 2009, ROPS  is available and in service on the Airbus A320, A330, A350 and A380 aircraft families.

ROPS  is available in linefit and in retrofit via a retrofit package:

• Aircraft configuration compatibility check; and
• A set of relevant SBs (Service Bulletins); and
• The seller-furnished equipment (the “SFE Kits”); and
• The update of technical and operational manuals of the aircraft

Our support to customer:

• Training material (eLearning) and Ops Briefing Package
• Ensure all airfields data are precise enough for the operations
• ROPS  in-service event analysis
• Support is provided by Airbus Engineering Support via TechRequest and NAVBLUE Runway Safety Specialists
